I’m also surprised how little notice they are giving you. I think my biometrics for AOS was at least like 3 weeks in advance scheduled. 

My husband and I filed 10/14

we we’re going schedule a trip the week of thanksgiving, but decided against it, in case our biometrics is that week.

 

what. A. Bummer.

Oh wow, that’s interesting. I think it changed when I was going through AOS... I’m also surprised how little notice they are giving you. I think my biometrics for AOS was at least like 3 weeks in advance scheduled. 

Not sure if it might be because we’re CR1 instead of AOS. @IkaStuart Are you also CR1?

 

@Elethiomel you might want to also download the “case tracker for uscis” if you have an iPhone. Just add your cases and it shows status. Also provides links for I-94, uscis Office locators, aos filing charts etc. Makes life a lot simpler than logging into MyUscis every time

Oh that makes sense! CR1 all have to have biometrics because you haven’t had one in the U.S. yet. If I don’t get a letter about one being scheduled within the next 2 weeks I will just assume I won’t have a biometrics appointment.

Honestly, I wouldn’t postpone any plans for a potential biometrics appointment. From what I’ve seen now in the other threads you can have your biometrics appointment anywhere from a month after you submitted your documents to 3 or 4 months after. You can’t just keep on surrounding your life around unreliable USCIS again. Also if you’ve had biometrics for AOS there seems to be a 50/50 chance you will never have another biometrics appointment. 
You can always reschedule your biometrics and it won’t affect your timeline much anyways if at all. I wouldn’t stress about it.

Hey all! 

 

After hiatus of 2 years it's go-time again. Because my husband and I are the best procastinators in the world, we didnt file till the 26. And my GC expires at 11/7. So let's hope I get that receipt before that. I also got a new job, were I need my license for starting wednesday 😅 

I actually live right next to the lockbox here in Phoenix, but they didn't let me drop it off. It had to be send out and send back in again, took 4 days 🙄

 

Just to be sure, I read everywhere that travelling is fine with with the receipt. Do I need to do anything extra? I have a big trip to Japan coming up in December.

Filed 10/4, NOA/extension on 10/10, Biometrics scheduled for 11/13.

Yes, to travel outside of the US you will need the original extension letter and the expired green card 🙂

Mine was delivered on the 21st, two week I feel its a little long not to cash the check, maybe its just Dallas experiencing a delay? 😕
